What makes a toe nail turn white from the root of the nail. it doesn't hurt or itch.?

White nail: If on the surface it can be yeast or damage from nail polish. If deep it usually means the nail is not firmly attached to the nail bed.

Nail polish: If you are a female that uses nail polish regularly the toluene in the polish is one reason the nail could be white.
